i prefer playing old yugioh bc we don't have to deal with the damn awful u-links in those formats, and extra deck monsters whever the hell you wanna put them, they go there!

The then vs now comparisons hurt my soul. Painfully relatable.....

I prefer now, its funny to look at how this game used to be. The only thing I don’t like is too many hand traps and trying to teach people, lol. But I love this game

Welcome to year 2019 \o/ ! . And back THEN

So true for the competitive gameplay. Most days, you can't play casually without some one running a way to u-link

More like the whole extra deck. Special summoning with links is just completely unexpected for "new" players. Pendulum monsters and summoning was fine, you can at least strategize which monsters you want as spells or as traps, and it does take a LITTLE skill to use properly, since you could also only pendulum summon once per turn. Link summoning is the tryhard staple, just an auto two or three turn kill against a deck that ISN'T fluent in links. Most of the time.

@@sunzet4640 My brother and friend are trying to get me to play yugioh and I'm not versed in card games. The pay to win aspect and link summoning are proving a simple enough barrier of entry for me. The extra deck really sucked the fun out of it for me.

@@ericksantiago9130 just find a deck you like and learn it the best you can. I haven't played in forever, spent about $140 and built a "salamangreat" deck. Still learning some tactics for when I don't go first but I'm starting to win more and more against way more expensive decks. Last time I played was when the Pegasus tin came out so.. Lol.

Next: I summon myself

It hurts. How the fuck did we get to this point?

Gabriel 2020 lol dude, I feel you. I really do.

@@realzachfluke1 Yeah we got go this point by konami being greedy enough to release all kind of crap and 'try' to balance it while the game cannot hold the weight of all those new mechanics and effects. Today the first one to win is the one who can go through all of his/her deck in one turn. It's a tragedy.

@Gabriel 2020 Konami would lose profit from that so I don't see them doing it. I agree with you though.

People going first: ._.

Exactly and thats why i hate yugioh nowadays

@@Venom61835 I feel you, you can still technically win consistently with the same cards but, just way harder & more boring to duel against someone who is like, i so pro look at me copy & paste the deck everyone else uses, while never spending time customizing.

@@garretrodriguez funny thing is I made my own Custom Deck and i made it Broken op and hell its super cringy, ppl on duel book keep getting mad and rage quit cuz of how op and broken it is and that was my revenge xD

One example is i got a trap card Called "Yer Fucked" and when its activated it adds 20 Counters on any card of choice lol and ppl just burst off it xD

I got also my original decks and they can face these new decks im updated myself but u see nowadays is NON STOP SUMNONS + NON STOP NUKE EFFECTS, so you set 10 Cards (Traps/Monsters) By end.of summon effect sequence all ur cards are destroyed or shuffled lol this shit just pisses me off haha

Hallelujah for “Goats”, right?

and flip summon monsters which is now too slow in the current format :(

And tele-dad

Khagan Wanganate well I guess subterror and shaddoll use flip effects

@@frogdog8124 That's the thing though, they are powerful enough to be able to be played that way and they are supposed to be played that way. Also they all have secondary effects that activate if another condition is met which old/other Flip Effect Monsters don't have and some just straight up have bad effects. Although Hane-Hane is a pretty fun card to mess up your opponent with if the effect goes through XD

Holy shit this comment is underrated XDD

@@flamingphoenixleo223 totally xD

@Gareth Griffiths hate ftk, the game is pointless if youre playing alone :/

2020: I end both our turns. We can't duel anyway!

Sometimes when i play duel links and my opponent does so much stuff during my own turn i actually forget that, and when they stop i'm like "wait it's still my turn? can i play now?"

This is why I only play duel links

Me to my brother. 😂😂😂😂

Man, I tried to get back in to yugioh with my Toon World deck back when the Pegasus deck first came out. Everyone back in the day wanted that deck. My friend agreed to duel me with Ancient Gear deck. I lasted only 1 turn. I quit immediately after. I only got to set one card face down...

oh gods, i have the 'old' cards and my brother has the new ones. it's a pain in the butt to wait for him to finish his turn. it's also really hard to win against him. my cards aren't even that old, they're only like 4 years old.

@@moonfirearc6793 4 years are like 6 decades in the yugioh universe

Josh Josh words are scary guys, me no like reading

I quit playing but I kept my Album with the Rare DMG and rare BEWD. I can still play these days but the cost of building a new deck just for the sake of being competitive is too much. I could still buy it though if I sell my Rare Cards Collections but nahh. I'll just keep it and remember those days when I used to play this cards era, and tried to collect the rare versions of them. My last deck was fluffal though, before that was a Black Wing. I can still play some games with it but they are not that competitive anymore.

@@syl6164 the new TCG is def still cheaper than lets say magic the gathering which is hella costly.

Pendulum summons is fucking stupid idk why they added that

@@JimmyKudo93 but so is linking.. i mean.. everything is a OTK deck now

Idk anything about links heard about it sychro and xyz are ok in my book

They ruined the game when they introduced pendulum and synchro 😞

Pendulum summoning is fair and it never tops cause it sucks and links made the game more fair.

it can feel like it though try playing a deck with a 20 step combo in the first turn

Thank you! That is exactly what I was thinking, the way I would have done the skit is, the guy just keeps summoning monsters,, after a while you see a SpongeBob time card that says "20 minutes later" then, the guy that was summoning monsters is telling the other guy to wake up because it's his turn, not that it matters because he was already practically OTK'd.

tbf the best turn 1s should not take 10+ minutes to execute as dumb as it might be sometimes. The simplest, consistent, and card econ efficient combo to bring out your strongest board should always be turn 1, and you're going to have neither of those things when your turn 1 takes half your deck and knowing every possible hand to do. At most an ideal turn 1 should take at most a minute or two if both players know whats happening.

That I agree with

The time issue I mean

I buy og packs and play the old way. No pendulum, link, xyz, or synchro. Just basic, fusion, and ritual.

The old ways gave everyone a fair chance at winning. The cards were balanced and the game would actually draw on rather than constant otks

@@tylercallahan6230 unless someone decided they were gonna be a magician who somehow drew exodia within the first few turns lol I do agree it was much simpler and less complicated. You didn't need to memorize specific chains that could go on for 20 plus card effects (I lived it and ended up getting killed by tokens it was incredibly bizarre and honestly i'm still impressed that they found a way to do it). The games were also more intense because it was more back and forth each turn you'd chip away and chip away until someone won. Now it's just one person chaining until they either otk or the other person dies of boredom because 6 hours later the chaining hasn't ended yet.

Agree

I'm with you, probably more mid-late Xyz specifically, as I got back into the game around late 2013. But my local Yu-Gi-Oh scene isn't too big, so when I picked my cards up again, I still saw some of the stronger synchro decks like Six Samurais and Blackwings. Looking back, it feels like XYZ were the last time Yu-Gi-Oh was still recognizable as the classic game. Sure, it was crazy fast, but synchros and Xyz didn't change the board up the way pendulums and especially links do.

Hell, Kalin from the Dark Signers had that monster of a no hand deck and Akiza made a beast out of plant monsters in her deck. She brought back plant type monsters and made them a viable threat for ANY Yu-Gi-Oh player. Then there is the obvious Blackwing's who swarm the field that has to be mentioned because if I don't someone else will and question why did I not mention the ONE reason Crow was made to fight Goodwin alongside Yusei and Jack, instead of Akiza. Did you know originally Crow was supposed to become a Dark Signer? It shocked me honestly. But when his deck's popularity became obvious, they changed the script and put Crow on third of the big three heroes of 5Ds instead of Akiza with Yusei and Jack as the most powerful members of their team. Shame, Akiza had so much potential to make female duelists being strong a thing and they ruined it by letting her fade into a support duelist. They could have expanded her story to finding other members who was once part of the Arcadia movement and stop them from causing harm or helping young psychic duelists like herself. I would LOVE to have seen how Akiza handled such events and how her friends would try to help her. But enough of my gripe on what happened, back to the decks. Yusei's is an obvious thing to address. His use of low level monsters and synchros was a nice change up from everyone wanting to be bigger and badder than everyone else. Jack's was a pretty good overpower the enemy with brute force type of deck, while Luna with some customizing could make a scary burn deck with Bad Reaction to Simochi, I believe that is how the trap card's name is spelled... Leo on the other hand was pretty handy with his morphtronics and his Powertool Dragon, eventually getting Life Stream Dragon I don't know too well yet sadly.

I think they tried to be MtG with their deep mechanic, but it just feel so damn weird, since there's no balance like MtG
